Their is a great deal of campus security walking around and riding around in cars and golf carts, so if there is a problem they will be there.

Clubs and Activities

I can't answer this because I am not involved in any clubs or activities.

Great for these types of students

Willing to learn and trying to make it somewhere in the future.

What to do for fun

I usually just go to the library and work on some assignments or go to the cafe and hang out or get something to eat.

Food and Dining

They have a nice variety of drinks and food, but they are a little pricey.

Dorm Life

I'm not in a dorm so I couldn't give my input on that..

Tips for prospective students

Try to get ahead of the due dates because some things may take longer than you expect. If you are trying for financial aid, go ahead and try to get it done and if you need to turn something in, then turn it in as soon as possible. Get your class ahead of time and find out where they are so on the first day you aren't roaming around not knowing where to go.

In three sentences

They are very helpful and patient to get you financial aid in the financial aid department. The teachers are also very helpful when it comes to class assignments and in-class discussions. Their website, which is wavenet, is very helpfuk if you have any questions or concerns about anything.

Michelle from Loris, SC

Campus security is ALWAYS present. The campuses are well-lighted and everyone keeps an eye out for each other.

Great for these types of students

HGTC is great for just about any type of student in my humble opinion.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Life along the Grand Strand is more casual and laid back than other urban settings.

Bang for the buck

Coastal Carolina is next door to the Conway Campus. Hint, hint.

What to do for fun

Make friends. There is SO much to do for fun along the Grand Strand.

Food and Dining

The dining options at both the Conway and Grand Strand Campuses is great.

Academic Rigor

Classes are challenging and there is considerable work and study outside of the classroom.

Tips for prospective students

1. If you will require financial aid, keep an ongoing dialogue in place with the financial aid office and all the employees there. They really are there to help and are happy to do so. 2. Register for classes early; they fill up very quickly. 3. Enjoy your experience.

In three sentences

If I had the power to go back in time and attend ANY college, I would still attend Horry-Georgetown Technical College in a flat, skinny minute. I am an older student and never did I feel made uncomfortable due to my age or circumstance. I love Horry-Georgetown Technical College and am quite proud to have had the opportunity to attend and shortly graduate from there.

Someone that went.

Academic Rigor

The common core classes are spectacular. In the recent years, Horry-Georgetown has upgraded many of their classes to smart classrooms. This allows for a more techy approach to learning. The skills that come with this sort of learning style are perfect for on-the-job applications. The teachers, in my experience, have given a perfect work load. Just enough outside work is assigned to not stress one out, but still provide a perfect amount of daily review. That is not to say that one is not challenged. The classes push one enough to help the academic mind grow, as well as inspire creativity.

Tips for prospective students

I would have to advise prospective students to not let their guard down. Technical/Community colleges have a misconceived image upon them. Many students believe that they are easier, or that the education is not up to par. This is the furthest from the truth. Many of the professors understand why some students may choose to go to a Technical/Community college, and therefore are very passionate about their teachings and their students. I would also advise prospective students to take advantage of the small class sizes. The ability to have your professor know your name is a feature not many large scale universities can offer. If you are struggling on a particular topic, your professor will have the knowledge of how to help you specifically on an individual basis.

In three sentences

This college is a door way for many opportunities. If you take your time and put all of your effort into it, you will get everything back and more. It has prepared me for a four year university, as well as many others for future careers.

Terri from Little River, SC

The school is taken well care of inside and out with new buildings and parking lots going up all over campus.

Clubs and Activities

Phi Theta Kappa member, Outside of school I am also the member of a local band called, That's Cool & Stuff. My husband and I have performed together for over 16 years. I am the bass plyer and sing lead on most songs. I am also the mother of three boys ages 10, 9, and 6 who are all actively involved in sporting activities. The whole family participates currently with taking Tae Kwon Do. Currently, (except for the youngest), we have all achieved our Orange belts!

Great for these types of students

Don't let your age deter you from getting back into school. There are many of us non-traditional students attending here!

Bang for the buck

The idea of going back to school was revealed to me through the VRAP program (for unemplyed veterans). Getting back into school after so many years of being out, I am excited like a child again putting my backpack on each morning to go to school! It is a very empowering time in my life showing me that I am able to achieve great things through my hard work and effort! Everything I am learning, I am able to directly apply it to the business that I have recently started. School could not have came back to me at no better time in my life! I am so blessed!

What to do for fun

Loved taking my kids to some of the outdoor movies on the campus grounds. Becoming a Phi Thetta Cappa member, I have started attending their meetings and meeting lots of cool people in there that have been very helpful in so many ways!

Food and Dining

Always enjoyed the salads that I made 2-3 times a week in the cafeteria. Never has any complaints! You can also go off campus and within a mile of the school you have multitudes of different places you can dine at.

Academic Rigor

Staying focused on your goals and always putting your best try forward will always give you results you can be happy with. Through my efforts, I am proud to say that I have been able to maiintain a 4.0 GPA each semester. This is a very personal goal that has brought me much joy knowing that I can do it!

Tips for prospective students

Utilize the services offered anytime you are needing assistance. This includes (from my personal experience) wavenet central and the SSTC. Lots of helpful people there to assist you in any way they can.

In three sentences

This is a great school with lots of improvements going on all the time to make it even better. My professors have all been top notch! I can't see going to any other school!

Kacie from Myrtle Beach, SC

It is a tech school so there is no cafeteria, but it is surrounded by many restaurants.

Dorm Life

There are no dorms on HGTC, because it is a tech college. However, there are many different neighborhoods and houses around.

In three sentences

HGTC is a great school. It has many different facilities; however, I do not like going here because if you do not know exactly what you want to go to school for, they are no help. It's definitely more like high school than college.

Tyler from Little River, SC

If they have them, i wouldn't know because i don't participate in these sorts of things.

Food and Dining

Local restaurants everywhere. There is a local coffee shop on campus. Students have minimal options.

Dorm Life

You live off campus. So there isn't really a dorm life so to speak at Horry George Town Tech. Maybe check with Coastal Carolina for options there.

Academic Rigor

I'm not completely sure how to comment on the rigor of the school. Each professor has a different way to approach things, and your seriousness as a student is probably the most important thing in regards to your success.

Tips for prospective students

Register early for your classes, and in case you can't the advisor's will absolutely do everything they can to get you in.

In three sentences

If you're in the Myrtle Beach area, this is the best tech school for your money. Great campus's and the staff is extremely helpful. If you're planning on going to graduate school, this is a great place to start.

Campus Safety

I am not familiar with any non-safety issue, in fact security is often seen throughout the school riding around in their golf carts and monitoring all that goes on. I feel extremely safe, and I attend night (after dark) classes, but it always important to be aware of one's surroundings.

Greek Life

I am unaware of greek life on campus.

Academic Rigor

It is an excellent school for students who are fresh out of high school or have been missing in action for a while. It offers plenty of opportunity for one on one student to teacher interaction, and allows the student the opportunity to work and go to school. It also offers excellent online courses.

Academic Rigor

not a ton of homework but the tests are something to study for in every class. no matter how easy the class lectures may be.

Tips for prospective students

Get your classes ASAP! they go super quick. also check out your teachers ratings so ur not stuck with a horrible teacher for a whole semester because it is hard to change your schedule around after classes have started.

Greek Life

Becoming a member of Phi Theta Kappa was also a great decision I made. Being a member gets me more connected into the community with the events and fundraisers that happen almost monthly. The support from other members is also very beneficial. I am looking forward on working on the College Project and also the Honors In Action project to learn more about myself, my school, and my community.

What to do for fun

The Horry-Georgetown Technical Grand Strand campus is located near Market Commons. There is a 1-mile jogging path around a beautiful lake that has health stations you can make use of. Market Commons is also filled with outlet style shopping, unique restaurants, bars, movie theater, and the best Barnes and Nobles in town. There is plenty to do!

Food and Dining

The student lounge always offers healthy food choices. I would like to see them opened longer and they run out of food, a lot.

Academic Rigor

The academics are only difficult if you make them. The teachers are tough, but fair. It is really up to the student to decide how successful they wish to be. I have adored every teacher I have had thus far. They are not lenient, but they are fair.

Tips for prospective students

My main tip to prospective students is don't think that you can't do it, because you can. I am a high-school drop put with a GED who has been out of school for many years. Talking to the advisor at HGTC really gave me the confidence that I needed to complete my education. I am now going strong and a member of the school's honor society. It can be done!

In three sentences

To attend Horry-Georgetown Technical College has been a wonderful decision that I made to change my life. The faculty and staff are very encouraging and real. I love my school, and would recommend it to anybody!

Campus Safety

Horry Georgetown is a very safe campus. There are constant security guards ( I know because of parking tickets!) and 911 call booths in the parking lots. buildings and parking lots are well lit which makes it easy for night classes

Greek Life

Horry Georgetown does not have any type of Greek Life. To partake in that you'll need to walk across the street to Coastal Carolina!

Clubs and Activities

Personally, I am not a part of any clubs on campus but I have heard of a few.

Great for these types of students

Horry Georgetown is a school for the people who have lives outside of class. I work eight to five Monday through Friday and attend classes at night. Its perfect for non traditional students who have children and families to tend to.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

one unusual tradition my friends and I have is study groups. This may not sound to unusual to most but maybe the fact that we all do it in a circle of tail gates in the parking lots makes it a little more weird. At least we get a lot of weird looks!

Bang for the buck

Horry Goergetown town is the definition of more bang for your buck! the education provided is amazing at half the price.

What to do for fun

Student Engagment Hour is always a fun way to met new people.

Food and Dining

Horry Georgetown has a small cafe on each of the Conway and Grand Stand campuses. The muffins are great... the coffee could be better.

Dorm Life

Horry Georgetown does not have dorms since it is a community college but there are many great apartment complexes within walking distance.

Academic Rigor

through collaborative efforts, students and teachers consistently work towards high stands for all. While refusing to allows obstacles such as age, ability, and economic statues hinder individual or group efforts.

Tips for prospective students

It get in early! My first at Horry Georgetown I waited till the last couple weeks to apply. It was a nightmare to find classes! Take advantage of the Learning Center: It is full of models for anatomy classes and tutors to help you in any subject.

In three sentences

Horry Georgetown is an amazing school to be apart of. It is so nice that as a local there is a school that provides a quality education for a fraction of the price that it would cost to attend a 4 year university. The campuses are clean and safe and it is somewhere I enjoy attending.

Gwendolyn from Myrtle Beach, SC

There is always a security guard on campus. They are very polite and helpful. I always feel safe walking to my car.

Greek Life

Clubs and Activities

Non that I am aware of.

Great for these types of students

It is a great school to start out and get your prerequisites because you will save thousands of dollars before going to a university. Most of the classes they offer are transferable. If you have a question about any of the classes you can always compare it with the college you would like to attend in the future to make sure.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Not really a traditional school.

Bang for the buck

The bang for your buck is great there. The max you will pay for a semester is $1500 plus your books or supplies.

What to do for fun

They have a gym there. for some people it might be fun to work out.

Food and Dining

I have never eaten there but they do have days where chik-fil-a come and serve lunch to the students.

Dorm Life

There is no dorm life. It is mostly working adults trying to get a higher education or kids trying to get their prerequisites out of the way.

Academic Rigor

They seem to pretty much approve a financial aid appeal for anyone. Numerous times. They do make you speak with an advisor now before letting you go any further. I wish they would of done this a couple of years ago when I was attempting a different major. I might of known sooner that it wasn't for me. Over all they seem to be stepping it up a little and trying to be a little more student oriented with helping them be more successful .

Tips for prospective students

Create a check list for when you are registering. Make sure that you set at least half a day to sign up there. Also even if you don't think you need help with a class sign up a few weeks in advance with tutor because spots book up fast for the good ones.

In three sentences

This school can be frustrating at times to get signed up and turn in paper work. In the long run they have improved over the years with helping students succeed. There are still a few bad professors there but you will have that in any college.

Brandi from Myrtle Beach, SC

HGTC offers many activities on all three of there campuses. Most majors have clubs to join that allows you to network with the people you will eventually be working with.

Nursing or other medical support students should check out the new Medical building at the Myrtle Beach campus. BEAUTIFUL!

The Myrtle Beach campus is literally 2 minutes from the ocean! It is loated at Market ommons, whih has a beautiful park and pond close by.

Bang for the buck

for only an average of $1700 a semester, you can't beat the cost!

Food and Dining

Due to this not being a full university with dorms, there is only a small coffee/sandwich shop. The food is prepared by the culinary students and is REALLY fresh and good.

Dorm Life

No dorms = no dorm life

Academic Rigor

Classes are just as tough as other universities, but the professors have more time to go over class materials due to smaller class sizes.

Tips for prospective students

Make sure you meet with your advisor. Certain classes are offered only in Fall or Spring so the advisor can help you plan for that. Your professors will always take the time to talk with you, and will work with you one on one if needed.

In three sentences

Smaller classes allow for the Professors to take more time with you, as a student. Class time and availability is great, with day, night, and internet courses offered. HGTC offers a great transition into the college life.

Campus Safety

Campus safety on both HGTC and Coastal Carolina University are excellent. You have actual Horry County Police Officers patrolling the campuses 24/7 and have an emergency and non-emergency phone number that is monitored 24/7.

What to do for fun

Well, we are in the Myrtle Beach area so there are tons of things to do. The beach of course, Broadway at the Beach, which is like an outdoor mall/attractions for the whole family or just you and your friends. There's also TONS of places to eat along the beach, off the beach, on the main highway, 501, pretty much anywhere you go there's food down here.

Food and Dining

I have never eaten on campus at HGTC, so I can not evaluate this question

Academic Rigor

This is a Technical College so the majority of the classes you are required to take are solely for your anticipated major, no filler classes. They only teach you basically what you need to know, they don't beat around the bush with topics or classes which make them fairly easy.

Tips for prospective students

Parking is somewhat limited so make sure to be ON TIME for class, meaning at least 15 minutes before class actually starts. Some professors will lock you out of their classroom if you are not there at the time the class begins.

In three sentences

This Technical College is very helpful with whatever you need. The Professors actually care about their students and know most by name. The accommodations at HGTC are very nice, 3 campuses to choose from and the advisers always work with you to help solve your problems.

Darien from Triangle, VA

Food is up to you to buy. Luckily there's a plaza full of stuff to do and places to eat.

Dorm Life

There aren't any dorms, it's a technical school. But if you can afford it, there are townhomes literally right next door to the campus. YOU CAN LITERALLY HOP OUT OF BED AND WALK TO IT. Starting at 515, you can have a nice unfurnished house, within walking distance to everything...except the beach.

Academic Rigor

Classes are hard, especially late start, because its a whole semester chopped down into 10 weeks.

Tips for prospective students

If you are going to consider enrolling, MAKE SURE YOU KEEP UP WITH YOUR STUDENT ID!!! You need it for everything. Also ARRIVE EARLY FOR PARKING, because lets face it, parking sucks everywhere.

In three sentences

HGTC is a very convenient campus with three locations to serve the Horry and Georgetown Areas. The teachers here are very meticulous about helping students succeed. The Classes are very rigorous but in the end the hard work will definitely pay off.

Overall, I know many people that attend Horry Georgetown Technical College in order for them to take their first steps into college, and to gain a sturdy foundation for their life.

What to do for fun

You is smart. You is kind. You is beautiful.-The Help. In my spare time I enjoy watching movies. I take interest in watching various types of movies ranging from Chinese martial arts to inspirational African American movies. I believe that knowledge is power and diversity is strength, and through movies a person can gain knowledge about the world and cultures around them. As well as making them more aware of the diversities of people surrounding them. Horry Geogetown Technical College instructors have helped me to realize the importance of being globally aware.

Food and Dining

We have a small cafe and lounge on campus. I try most of the time to stay away from buying products from this cafe, do to the over priced products. However, the lounge is one of my favorite places to study in between classes. The serene setting proves to be the best place to study everytime.

Dorm Life

There is no dorm, therefore, we all stay off campus.

Academic Rigor

I feel as if a few of the courses could be a bit more academically challenging, but overall this school defiantly gives you a head start into the college life.

Tips for prospective students

If there was one thing that I would say to prospective students who attend this school is to make sure you do your work and study hard. As much as you may not like your professors teaching strategies find ways to adapt to it and continue to push forward. Do not use the excuse that u do not like the professors teaching strategy. This is college; it was designed to push you out of your comfort zone.

Campus Safety

I think Horry-Georgetown Technical College does a great job with campus security they always make their presence known.

Highly recommend. This school is great for creating a foundation to build upon with further education if you choose to. Tuition is low and there are several financial incentives to help with the costs of enrolling. If you choose not to continue there are quality two-year programs you can choose.

What to do for fun

Well there are several campus events scheduled throughout the semester for which students can participate. Since our school is so close to the beach, dining, and shopping venues we really never get bored here.

Food and Dining

We are lucky to have cafes in several building on our campuses. As well as, many great restaurants surrounding the campus locations.

Dorm Life

We do not have dormatories.

Academic Rigor

I think academic rigor is relevant to the program chosen. I personally have chosen a competitive program that is based off of a weighted scale. There are only 20 seats filled per year for the program I have chosen

Tips for prospective students

The best tips I could give prospective students is to shop around for comparative tuition rates and to definitely start out at a two year technical college before moving to a name school if that is apart of your academic goal. My next tip is to rent textbooks when you can as they can prove to be very expensive and effect your bottom line. MY final tip is to be proactive about your education meeting with your academic advisor about every two months. This could save you a lot of headaches concerning changing policies in programs.

In three sentences

I think Horry-Georgetown Technical College is a great college to start off with especially if you plan to transfer. If you don't plan to transfer they have some great certificate, two-year programs that can really help you further your career goals. I would highly recommend this college given the economic climate.

Great for these types of students

It's a nice school for introverts because people hardly converse there only in class or at lunch.

What to do for fun

For me, the only fun I have is streaming the computer.

Food and Dining

They have much to decide from vendor machines in every corner almost square tables and firms seats usually every so often bigger meals are guaranteed.

Dorm Life

It's essentially a commuter college so no domestic life on campus.

Academic Rigor

It's moderately stringent but with all the help from staff you can't go wrong.

Tips for prospective students

Students should come with a positive demeanor and remember that first impressions are lasting ones so come to class promptly with the items that they need without excuse.

In three sentences

It's a decent college with nice lounges for both students and professors to relax on their leisure until the next class begins. There are terrific professors who are able to aid students academically through technology; for example, students can use their student accounts to chat online with their professors or other professionals to clarify their assignments to them and give them tips on improvement. Most classes are small ,so the prospects of failing them are virtually impossible to do.

A disgruntled student

In Georgetown County? I don't know. You can go to Walmart or possibly go cow tipping.

Food and Dining

Non-existent

Dorm Life

There are no dorms.

Academic Rigor

A student only has to try hard in the classes taught by the incompetent teachers. Stay away from the nursing program.

Tips for prospective students

Take night classes. The students in the day classes are all fresh out of high school. They are more worried about partying than they are about academic achievement.

In three sentences

The college has mostly adequate teachers. The support staff is a joke. Do not attend if you do not have the ability to do all the jobs of the financial aid office yourself, because they are useless, rude, and incompetent.

Campus Safety

This is one of the most safe campus I know. I can not even think of any time any one has had anything bad happen to them. our safety team is always doing their job, and helping people out. When you call on them they are always right on time. They make sure everyone is doing what is asked of them while they are on campus grounds.

Bang for the buck

The one thing I love most about this school is that they give you their all to make sure we are learning, getting better understanding, the best teachers who care about what you have learn and took in after leaving out of that class. The outsides are clean and well keep. We have a really nice book store. A lot of help to offer the students when they really need it the most. If I had to give my school a GPA grade it would have to be a 4.0 they really have brought a change in my life and my children for the better. I will always be grateful for what this college has had to offer me as a student.
